Not everything dangerous is bad. From the moment Angelina laid eyes on him, she fell into a fantasy. Mysterious, foreign, gorgeous, Haithem offered her what she needed most—a chance to feel again.
But Haithem is much more than he appears to be. He lives in a world of danger where everything comes at a price.
For Angelina, that price is her future.
He's made sure the life she's left behind is in tatters. Made her family believe she's dead. Still, he talks about protecting her, about keeping her safe, but she can't distinguish his truth from his lies. She can't separate her pleasure from his betrayal.
Haithem warned her. He told her he'd make her heart race, her body come alive and her most primal needs rush to the surface. His for the taking.
He didn't say she'd come to love the devil who's destroying her, even as he keeps her prisoner.

Wow! This is the first book I read from this author and I'm so glad I picked it up! Didn't I Warn You kept me on my toes, it's a thrilling book that is jammed pack with suspense, mystery and just pure hotness coming off of Haithem.
Angelina is young, naive and trouble just seems to follow her. Her whole world is about to change when she lays her eyes on the mysterious, powerful and handsome stranger, Haithem. And Haithem is also enamored over the young, beauty in the coffee shop.
Haithem is mysterious throughout this book, we aren't quite sure what his "job" is, but we know he's hiding something big. And when Haithem propositions Angelina, she refuses (at first!) There's just something about the girl that he wants, but doesn't trust her at all.
And Angelina is starting to question Haithem motives. He's secretive and seems to tell her things she wants to hear. I loved Angelina, she maybe young, but she's sassy and knows how to stand up to Haithem when needed. Haithem was a jerk on one page and then totally sweet and hot the next. So throughout this read, I was flip flopping over how much I love and hated him.
Didn't I Warn you ends with a sort of happy forever for now, but their story continues in the next book. I can't wait to find out how Angelina will live with all of Haithem's secrets.
Long fingers
close around my throat. Not squeezing, not hurting, but commanding. I
look at him. This man I love. This devil I adore. He’s gorgeous—dark hair,
darker eyes, olive skin, body and features all chiseled hardness. But that’s
not what makes my veins jump under his hand. That’s not what makes my skin
slick with sweat.
There’s more to this man than
meets the eye.
His thumb strokes my pulse,
gleaning secrets right out of my blood. His mouth curls to the side, forming a
smile that reveals he knows exactly what I’m thinking.
“Didn’t I warn you, Angel,” he
says, and his thumb moves up to my chin, “that it’s not a good idea to love
me?”
My pulse leaps from erratic to
chaotic. I can’t answer, only listen in horrified fascination to what I know
will come next.
He traces the groove below my
bottom lip. “Didn’t I warn you my love would be bad?”
Shivers run hot then cold over my
skin.
“Didn’t I tell you, you’d pay for
my heart?” He touches my mouth, dragging my bottom lip down.
My body sings, my blood hums
right down to my womb. I can’t resist him. He did warn me. He truly did. But I
was greedy. I wanted him anyway.
I didn’t understand how bad he
could be.
He’s the devil. Tempting me with
what I desire most. Luring me to an irresistible destruction. A destruction I’m
so close to I can smell it—taste it—touch it. Pain grips me, my insides bruise
with it. My family believes I’m dead. The life I’ve left behind lies in tatters
because of him. Because he keeps me.
He won’t let me go.
He tilts my face, brushing his
cheek against my ear. “I promise it will be worth it.” His stubble chafes my
earlobe, stinging and electrifying. I’ve felt those bristles scrape against my
neck, my breasts, my thighs. There’s not an inch of me that hasn’t felt the
sweet torture of their abrasion. “Can’t you see it?” he asks. “The future where
you’re mine?”
My eyelids drift shut. I know
it’s only the hand cradling my face that’s holding me up. I can
see that future. I see it with fluorescent intensity. Life with the lights
turned on. Life where living means more than existing. For everything he’s
taken from me, he’s given me back more. He breathed a soul back into me.
Without it, without him, I’d be a walking corpse.
I see our future. I ache for it,
yearn for it, despise myself for it.
“Say it, Angel. Say, Haithem, I’m
yours.”
For all intents and purposes, I’m
a prisoner—captive—perhaps even a slave. Because I have no choices but the ones
he gives me. Yet, he gives me this choice—or at least the illusion of a
choice—to choose him.
To love him.
